Daya's Changes

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Third Aunt is so persuasive. If I wasn't the one who was thrown into the mountains, I would have believed her words!" Mao Xiaoyu was so angry that she almost laughed. She clapped her hands and walked over from a distance.

As soon as she got down the mountain, she heard her mother crying. She did not even talk to Rong Xiang and ran all the way home.

"Daya! My Daya!" Liu Xianniang's voice was hoarse from crying. She stood up like a crazy woman and took her daughter into her arms.

Mao Xiaoyu quickly comforted her mother. Seeing her mother's miserable state, she could not help but shed tears.

"Mother, don't cry. I'm fine." Mao Xiaoyu patted her mother's back and coaxed her softly.

She could feel her mother's emotions, and it made her furious. Otherwise, her mother's body would not be trembling.

"Wretched girl, how dare you come back?!" Grandma Mao suppressed the fear in her heart and came up to slap Mao Xiaoyu.

She had to make the first move and not let this brat complain.

However, this was only Grandma Mao's wish. There were so many people around, so how could she possibly succeed?

Even the man next door could not stand it anymore. He quickly stepped forward and stood between Grandma Mao and Mao Xiaoyu.

He felt bad for Mao Xiaoyu and her daughter, so he took two slaps from Grandma Mao.

"Aiyo, so you have a wild man! No wonder you're not filial to your mother-in-law and even poured dirty water on me!" See, just like that, the man was extorted by Grandma Mao.

The man was dumbfounded. He had already been on guard, so how could he have fallen for it?

If not for the situation, Mao Xiaoyu would have laughed out loud.

This old hag was really too weird, and her combat power was off the charts. She was not someone ordinary people could handle.

However, it did not matter. Mao Xiaoyu was not afraid. She was not lacking in bickering!

Two could play at this game!

"Grandma, are you planning to marry my mother off in exchange for the betrothal gift after you've thrown me away?" Mao Xiaoyu gave the man a look, telling him to back off so that Grandma Mao would not implicate him further.

The man was obedient. He wanted to argue, but he would not be able to clear his name even if he tried.

"Bullshit, who saw me throw you away? Aren't you standing here, perfectly healthy? And your mother, she still wants to get married? In her dreams!" Grandma Mao pointed at them.

Does she want to get married? Impossible! The family still needs this woman to work. Without her, who will cook? Who will wash the clothes? Who's going to feed the pig?

"Then why did you ruin my mother's reputation? Compared to the Second and Third Aunts, isn't my mother filial enough?" Mao Xiaoyu cried.

A weak child trying her best to protect her mother was a victim in everyone's eyes. When Mao Xiaoyu cried, it made everyone feel even worse.

Immediately, everyone began to talk about Grandma Mao's faults. They were just short of condemning her.

"Daya, tell me. Your mother said that your grandmother threw you into the mountains?" The Village Chief raised his arms and motioned for everyone to be quiet. The discussions nearby became much softer.

After comforting her mother, Mao Daya bowed to the Village Chief and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, please give me justice!"

Today, she wanted to teach the Mao family a lesson. Although she wanted to separate from her family, she knew that it would be difficult. She could only move towards her goal bit by bit.

"Tell me the whole story. If your grandfather and grandmother did something wrong, I won't let them off." The Village Chief also wanted to teach the old man and old lady of the Mao family a lesson.

This old couple was getting more and more out of line. They simply did not deserve to be human.

"It's like this. When my mother went to the river to wash clothes, my Second Uncle and Third Uncle put me in a gunny sack, then put me in a big basket and carried me to the mountains." Mao Xiaoyu explained calmly.

"Nonsense, you wretched girl, don't you dare slander me!" Mao Erlang, who was hiding in the house, could not bear to listen any longer. Ye kicked the door open and started scolding.

As for Mao Sanlang, he was probably scared and was hiding in his room, acting like a quail.

"Second Uncle, are you scared silly? You even met Grandpa Village Chief on the way. Grandpa Village Chief can be your witness."

Next, Mao Xiaoyu repeated the conversation between the village chief and mao erlang without missing a single word.

"Since you were in the basket, why didn't you ask for help?" The Village Chief asked.

"Grandpa Village Chief, my fever had just subsided, and I was starved for a few days. I didn't even have the strength to speak." Mao Xiaoyu smiled bitterly.

"You're lying. Look at how lively you are. How can you not even have the strength to speak? you're slandering me." Mao Erlang quibbled.

"If Big Brother Rong Xiang didn't save me in the mountains and given me food, I'm afraid your conspiracy would have succeeded!" After saying that, Mao Xiaoyu started to act pitiful again.

She was still young anyway, so it was normal for her to cry when she was bullied.

Without any psychological burden, Mao Xiaoyu displayed her grievances and helplessness for everyone to see.

Come on, all of you, sympathize with me!

Come on, let's all go and crusade against that disgusting family!

Mao Xiaoyu chuckled.

"Rong Xiang, you tell us!" The Village Chief looked at Rong Xiang beside him.

Rong Xiang nodded and explained how he met Mao Xiaoyu in the mountains.

When Rong Xiang finished, the Village Chief and the other two old men were so angry that they clenched their fists.

"Village Chief, quickly chase Mao Laogen's family away. Such a vicious person will bring bad influence to the village." Grandpa Qi, who had always found Mao Laogen an eyesore, took the opportunity to hit him while he was down.

Grandpa Qi said what was on everyone's mind, and suddenly, the surrounding people began to talk about it again.

The people of this era were still more thin-skinned and cared more about their face. Everyone was afraid that because of this dirty Mao Laogen, the atmosphere of the entire village would be ruined.

Seeing that the situation was serious, Mao Laogen pretended to have just woken up and walked out of the house.

"I say, what are you all doing surrounding my house? Yo, is Daya getting better? Maidservant, quickly bring the child into the room, don't let her catch a cold!" Once Mao Laogen left the room, he attempted to coax Mao Daya and her mother into entering the room first.

"Grandpa, are you deaf? Is it because it's noisy outside that you didn't hear it?" Mao Xiaoyu would not let this old man have his way.

Hmph, don't even think about talking your way out of this!

"Next time, don't run around. Did your mother teach you to be alone with a man?" Mao Laogen opened his mouth and wanted to play the 'shameless' card.

Liu Xianniang's face immediately darkened. "Father, don't talk nonsense. Eldest Daughter was thrown into the mountains by Second Uncle and brother-in-law. It was Brother Rong who was kind and sent Eldest Daughter back."
